1. Speak to Soldier Feng (637, 831) Angler's Village-Kill 1 Dismal Shade (Located in the Secret Passage at the northernmost room. coordinates: 400, 550)[Level 45 Wood type]BOSS AOE Poison attack (stacks), MP Drain, Mana ShieldNote: Mage/Cleric/Venomancer should tank. If cleric is not the tank, the cleric should be using AOE heal. The skill "Purify" is key to keeping the damage taken by poison low. Barbarians should NOT tank. They can die after about 3 casts worth of stacked poison. Problematic for anyone unless wood defense is greater than 3800. Venomancers can send in pets to hit until they almost die, unsummon and resummon. The pet will come back un-poisoned.

Note: This is probably the most difficult boss in the entire game. A level 60+ Barbarian can be one-shotted if their luck is bad. Purify is a key skill. With 10k + Pdef, the damage taken is 400-600. With the debuff, the damage take is around 1000. High levels or a group of clerics that have high level purifies are best. However, it is not completely necessary. It is possible to do it with just two level 50 clerics. One will be the main healer who uses Ironheart blessing on the tank and purifys when the debuff happens. NOTE THAT DEBUFF OCCURS WHENEVER THE BOSS AOE (Area of Effect, meaning hits everyone). The second cleric is would then be responsible for healing the main cleric from a further distance outside of the AOE range. This cleric can also have ranged damage dealers (Mages, archers) near them so that they can attack the boss and have the secondary cleric AOE heal them when the boss AOEs.
